Olivia Culpo's Dating Roster Is Star-Studded
Olivia Culpo is opening up about her love life like never before. In the trailer for her and her sisters’ new reality TV series on TLC, “The Culpo Sisters,” the 30-year-old model reflects on her past relationships, specifically one with an ex who made made her “feel like a less-than-human in every sense of the word.” In the clip, released on Oct. 6, Culpo fights back tears, saying, “I was with somebody who did really horrible, horrible things . . . I’ve never talked about it before.”
Culpo has been romantically linked to several celebrities over the years, including Nick Jonas, Tim Tebow, and Zedd, among others. However, her most publicized relationship to date (and quite possibly the person she is referring to in the trailer) was with Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola. Read more about Culpo’s dating history, plus her current beau, ahead.
Nick Jonas (2013-2015)
Culpo met Jonas at the 2013 Miss USA competition, and the two struck up a very public romance soon after. Their dating life even inspired Jonas’s 2014 hit track “Jealous.” “We went out one night and this guy was looking at her for a little too long. It was uncomfortable,” Jonas said on “The Wendy Williams Show” in November 2014, per Entertainment Tonight. “I’m not a jealous person and this was an experience that I was one or two drinks in. I really got into it and then I decided to let me just process this a different way and go into the studio and write this song.”
During their time together, Jonas described Culpo as his “teammate” and their relationship as “a wild ride” and “really special” to People in April 2015. But, two months later, Culpo and Jonas called it quits. “She’s an amazing person,” Jonas told “Extra”‘s Mario Lopez at the time. “We had a great, beautiful few years together, but it’s been a crazy couple months and I wish the best to her for the future, but it’s tough.”
Tim Tebow (2015)
Later, in September 2015, Culpo moved on with the former NFL quarterback. However, their romance was very short-lived. By November 2015, Us Weekly reported that the pair, who had met through a mutual friend, had allegedly split due to Tebow’s “virginity vow.” In a 2009 press conference, Tebow previously shared that he was practicing celibacy and saving himself for marriage.
Danny Amendola (2016-2019)
Amendola first met Culpo when they literally crossed paths “on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, just walking down the street” the former NFL athlete recalled to The Providence Journal in 2018. The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship from February 2016 to March 2019, according to E! News.
During the first stint of their romance, Amendola won Super Bowl LI with Culpo by his side. However, long distance seemed to get the best of their love. Amendola headed to Florida to play with the Miami Dolphins, while Culpo’s modeling career took off in Los Angeles. They split in March 2018.
A few months later, in June 2018, they rekindled the flame, but four months later, photos surfaced of Amendola with another woman. Still, the couple briefly reconciled in January 2019 before ultimately ending things for good in March 2019. A month later Amendola went on a social media tirade, in which he blamed Culpo’s desire “to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money” as a reasoning for their split, per Page Six. Culpo did not publicly respond.
Zedd (2019)
Culpo was first linked to Zedd in April 2019 when a video of her cuddling with the DJ at Coachella went viral. TMZ shared the video first, along with accounts from festival goers that Culpo was also spotted backstage during Zedd’s set earlier in the day. The following month, Zedd was photographed at Culpo’s 27th birthday party in Miami. “[Zedd was] getting cozy with Olivia all night, and sat next to her for the entirety of the dinner,” a source told Page Six. “They were definitely into each other.” Albeit, neither celebrity ever publicly spoke about their short romance.
